I truly appreciate On Bended Knee, and the privilege of praying with you for the Whitworth community. I notice in this newsletter that The Ethics Bowl team is not mentioned. They leave today for the National Ethics Bowl competition in San Antonio, Texas. Let’s be lifting them up in prayer. I know they’ve been working tirelessly to prepare for this. Jeremy, my son, has been sick for the past few days. Nerves are running high. They could really use the peace that passes understanding.
